Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.
3. Leave the door open.

What to do if...

Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that
is not in this manual.

Possible cause
The appliance is switched off.
The mains plug is not connected
to the mains socket correctly.

There is no voltage in the mains
socket.
The lamp is in stand-by.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and refit the plug.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the ap-
pliance for two or three hours using this
setting.

Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
